All about German fortifications 1933-1945

Bunkersite.com update: Bunkeroptik

Besides the tour guide and bunker per locations we have more information for you. Bunkeroptik is one of them.

Bunkeroptik is not an official term but it’s obvious, optics used in bunkers. The German fortress design included fortress weapons like the MG-34 on a special mount (Schartenlafette 34) in both armoured turrets and behind armoured plates, the fortress grenade launchers/howitzers like the M19 and leichte Turmhaubitze and the Czech 4.7cm Festungspak 36 (t). For all of these, and more, weapons and armour special optics were designed which could observe 360 degrees, round a corner or right at the target.

The navy and airforce used optics as well for their coastal and Flak batteries. Much more bigger ones than the army optics but just as interesting.

The “don’t try this at home” section is the repair shop where Lenco gives you information on how to fix your dirty Flakglass, with examples.
